Chapter 149 149: Elsewhere IV

Cole paused, his hands in the air and his weapons in their respective holds as he and Morgan brought their wild hunt to a halt. Of course odds like this are not enough to stop Cole, he had faced worse and it didn't matter that they had guns pointed in his direction. Each and every single one of the people here were dressed peculiarly, but much in the manner of what Cole would expect from the people who were living in space stations, and colonies on other planets.

Never the less what he noticed the most was a massive glowing portal that seemed to have been made from an arch that seemed to be both technological and magical in nature. And until he burst in guns a blazing there were people going in and out of the portal moving massive carts of things that Cole would swear looked like gear from the first and second floors. They were taking it out into the real world as beyond the portal that was shimmering with all of the colors that up until this point Cole had been chasing, he. Could see beyond it that they were placing everything they had gained here into a massive courtyard and above that was what was most definitely in a Bio-Dome stretching over what was most definitely a colony. It baffled him but at the same time it was amazing.

The soul dimension was some that according to the system no one should ever be able to gain access to, because it was not just the blueprint for reality, it was also the place where all items placed in inventories go. If you could find the inventory of let's say some rich space magnate, and not from Earth's universe but the other universes that had all come together to make the twenty five floors of titan Rising Online's final event. Access to all that meant that someone had access to arsenal that would help them overturn the current world order, and that would most definitely put the Aleron Highwater colony on the map. Cole shook his head as he observed the people gathered, trying to look around for someone that he would liken to a leader, and then Cole saw him.

"I can't say I am happy that we had to meet like this Cole Night, even if we have never met you and your family have been a constant thorn and block in my path to consolidate full power 9ver my colony and my region of space. After all your grandmother is the Current CEO and major shareholder of the black market bank. Never the less we were always going to meet on the field of battle, recently some of my new subordinates had taken a job to kill you…. I hear it didn't turn out too well for them but regardless you are here now and we can finally have a talk, I'm sure you've been itching for a chance to have a chat with me no?" Cole shook his head.

"Not really no…. I mean I knew you existed and that you were now a threat to a major part of my family's holdings. But you were or are in space and completely inconsequential to my own plans. And that is saying something seeing as you are actually a Raen Spawn making you beholden to me as I am technically the first of out kind. So no it's not me that's been dying to talk to you, I believe that pleasure should be all yours." Cole said to him as Vasilios Highwater broke out into a small laughter that sounded nothing like amusement.

"You're funny and fearless just as they say, but look the people all in this room are all within the top 300 Aspirants, and there 56 of them. You already slayer 4 of our friends and believe me when I tell you that everyone here just wants to rip you to pieces. But we will be gracious hosts, put your guns away boys and let me and the earthling have a chat. I'm sure there is much we would have to deal with, and I would also like to know how he got here and what he is doing attacking a warehouse full of people that can put him down, or have access to tools that can put him down permanently, but I digress, you guys should put your guns down. I've seen him fight boys and gals…..if he wanted to, you all would be dead by now or at least as close to it as you can possibly get….. the World Breaker is in our midst." Then Vasilios gave a smaller how and inclined his head for Cole to follow him.

"Keep watch Morgan, and if you notice anything suspicious, don't hesitate, blow up that fucking portal." Cole said to Morgan as the Mechanoid Direwolf huffed and nudged it's head into Cole's chest. He smiled as he wondered if perhaps Morgan took on characteristics of the things he possesses or incarnates into while within the system universe. And he also wondered if perhaps the Mechanoid form would be lost when everything was fully combined, after all according to the system the rules of the universe of floor 2 was different from 1 so his space ship had turned into a mechanical Direwolf King. In his invention is showed that he had both items stored…. He didn't want to trade one for the other.

He followed Vasilios through a side door, ignoring all of the weapons that was pointed in his direction. He came out onto a balcony that overlooked a plaza/Square. He recognized it immediately as he turned to Vasilios and said.

"This is where you killed the former leaders of your colony, burned them and their entire family to death with lightning…..a little dramatic don't you think?" Cole asked as he took a seat in front of a table that seemed to be packed full with some condiments. But Cole had not intention of eating them as all of them were just as white as the world he found himself in. Vasilios on the other hand did not stand on ceremony as he started eating, not caring about what sort of damage eating food in the soul dimension would cause…. If at all it would cause one.

"You don't have to be so paranoid about everything Mr. Cole…. The food here is safe to eat…. If you can handle the massive headache that you body will go through once you return to the real world. But yeah! This is the balcony where I finally took back my birthright, it gladdens me so that you saw it, my victory. Life before that day has been pretty hard and the event and my sponsor exposing me to the real truth of our universe has helped be regain that which should have belonged to my family. So what did you think about it?" Vasilios asked with an expectant gaze, almost like a child that was waiting for approval. Cole raised an eyebrow at him and said.

"Didn't you hear me say that it was too dramatic…..but I get the feeling you and I are cut from the same cloth. There are times when displays like that are necessary….. so that the world knows that you are not a person to be trifled with and you would pay blood with blood….." Cole sighed, thoughts of his cousins drifting through his mind. Maybe he was crazy, ruthless, evil….. who knows. But what he wasn't was heartless. He remembered holidays and events spent with his cousins and his brothers running around the gardens and stealing incense sticks from his grandmother's temple. So many adventures… heck his first kiss had been with his cousin sister, and he had killed her without blinking an eyelid just because he had gotten angry at his grandparents trying to control the narrative of his life just to please their own selfish desires.

He showed them that anyone who did bad to him he would do the same back to them, perhaps even at twice the amount of pain that was rushed out to him. But ultimately there was a stain in his heart and mind….killing wasn't easy. He could make do within it in the system universe due to aspirants having multiple lives and any other being just being monsters or greedy little fucks like those deputies he had killed in the second floor. But there was something about killing your own family that broken you….. he guessed perhaps that their grandparents and parents had steered their upbringing the wrong way and turned all of them into killers and spoilt brats. But in the end he still pulled the trigger.

"I'm going to be straight with you, since it seems we have both been looking for each other for different reasons. What the fuck do you want with me?" Vasilios raised an eyebrow of his own, making Cole frown as deep in his mind he was screaming 'that's my thing bitch!' but then again Cole really wasn't good at raising his eyebrows as he thought…. After all we all can't be Dwayne The Rock Johnson.

"Excellent, I like being straight forward and appreciate it from my friends and allies more than most would think, I am a benevolent ruler after all."

"No you're not, or maybe perhaps you are a benevolent ruler, but you're still a psychopath and a killer and frankly speaking I'm no place to judge because I am the same as you are. Heck if you dig a little deeper I'm sure I'm even more of a monster then you could possibly be. However I know a person who loves killing just for the fun of it just by looking them in the eye. And you are it and that sickens me." Cole said as he waited for a response.

"So you are judging me, Cole Night killer of his own blood is judging me…. Hahaha! How rich!" Cole frowned but quickly replied.

​ "I'm no hypocrite Vasilios, I'm every bit the devil that you are if not more, after all I am the progenitor of the race you have become seeing how you are an extremely annoying shirt fuck to look at. I understand you, but you're twisted in ways that even I can't imagine, I have a feel for those sort of things. You and I are alike and because I know how dark I am, and how dangerous I can also be I worry. But ultimately you have fucked with things you're not supposed to fuck with and the system has…"

"Put a hit on my head right? I expected as much. But don't be deceived, what you think is the system is just a thing or being just like us that had gotten access to the would dimension before we did, studied it, understood it, and decided the best way to utilize it was to consume universes and knowledge to become stronger. I'm not scared, you can't do anything to me Cole, not by yourself, I am untouchable. From either you or the system as by virtue of it's own rules, it had limited itself in the way it can interact with reality that's why you have become the system's bounty hunting little bitch! But we can rectify that. I'll tell you what I want, and that is for you to join me. There's no reason why we can build a new….not world, but a new universe order, you're the kind of like minded person I need by my side serving me." Cole scoffed.

"You mean you need the Black Market bank." Cole corrected him.

"Well yes! We can be honest with each other. They have the power I need to be a sovereign space lord, and you are the major heir that everyone is talking about. The next big player in any form or sort of interstellar war, politics, business or adventures. And me, I now have one of the fastest growing army, sure they're pirates but with all of the weapons and tools I have gained from the soul dimension, I have become so powerful no one can touch me. So what do you say, join me and make a new universe with me."
